There will be something for everyone this weekend in Eure-et-Loir. Here is a summary of the appointments offered.
If you like… music
The March Jazz festival is running at full speed this weekend, with three concerts that show the extraordinary diversity of the genre. It starts gently this evening, in Chartres, with a piano/voice duo by Stéphanie Lemoine and Pierre-Antoine Clamadieu with a hushed repertoire.
The next day, at La Loupe, the atmosphere will be more energetic with the Zakouska quartet and their music inspired by Mediterranean sounds.
A cultural week between humor and jazz in Eure-et-Loir
And on Sunday, the group Elegant Tramp will transport spectators from Chartres to landscapes of the American West with a country/folk style.
A fourth concert, that of Maë Defays, was scheduled in Gommerville on Saturday. But it was unfortunately canceled at the last moment, due to loss of voice.
Be careful, it’s not just jazz in life. Abborn will easily demonstrate this on Saturday at Anet. If the name of this group means nothing to you, its music is known to all.
Julie Gayet is expected in Chartres to talk about her new film, “Like an actress”
This is indeed an ABBA tribute band that will perform all the world famous hits. Get ready to dance on Oh mama, Dancing Queenand many others…
humor
There will be plenty to do during these three days. From this evening, the extravagant troupe of Opera Locos settles in the theater of Chartres. For years, they have been reinventing the art of dance to inject it with a huge dose of humor and burlesque.
And it works very well since the session has been full for a very long time.

The next day, in Epernon, a Prairiales regular, Christelle Chollet, will present her new one-woman show, the very energetic Refurbished. A mixture, as usual, of laughter and music.
At the Off de Chartres, again, a hybrid show, offered by the Portail Sud, is on the program: A pianist’s life, by and with Paul Staïcu. Again, comedy, virtuosity and humor will be on display.
Theater
There too, the offer is vast and varied. First of all, there are “local” productions, such as Richard III, from the Chartres company of the Theater in pieces. To rediscover this evening at the theater of Dreux.
